Iron Nickel & Nickel Steel Powdered Metal Parts

Atlas Pressed Metals Parts manufacturers iron nickel and nickel steel powdered metal parts. Iron-nickel is a designation given to a product with 1-4% Nickel composition when no carbon is present. Nickel steel is similar to the iron-nickel material but with the addition of carbon.

Due to the fact that nickel powders, unlike carbon, do not completely diffuse with normal sintering cycles, small needle-like microstructures of martensite or bainite form around the edges of the nickel particles. Iron nickel and nickel steel parts offer a combination of strength, wear resistance, and impact properties, useful in heat-treatable structural parts.
